Makro Multi-Kruzer Has A Major Flaw

It doesn't have a receiving audio module that its existing transmitter can pair with so you can use a variety of different headphones. Now how hard could it be to produce? Right now with all this heat I'd love to be able to use my Deus Backphones on the Kruzer without having to go through complete hell to do so. I have the Garrett Z-Lynk audio modules, but I have to plug the transmitting module into an adapter before they will work on the Kruzer. If I decide to use the battery back-up I'm screwed. Also with all those extra cables running everywhere, changing a search coil is not an easy task. Also with the attached Z-Lynk transmitting module not being waterproof I can't just spray off the Kruzer to clean off the mud without first removing the Z-Lynk transmitter audio module. Other than that I love my Kruzer. lol

Whiner......

Major Flaw.
Don’t think so.

A major flaw is some thing that keeps the detector from performing or being used for its intended purpose.

I have to have something to do, it's too damn hot to get out and detect.

I don't like wearing hot headphones in the summer heat, so it doesn't work for me. lol

Misleading Title - Uh Oh (electronic sound)

Tabman,
I don’t have mulit kruzer.
It does have a way to hook wired headphones correct??
Is the connector used to do peculiar or proprietary??

Sounds like you need adapter to be a able to use wired earbuds due to the heat.

He just wanting Makro to put out a wireless module that will pair with his kruzer so he can use different headphones. Kind of like the Nox 800 Wm 08 module etc. Dilek can probably address his woes and let him know if it's something they have though about implementing. Makro did a wonderful job with this detector with all the coils and accessories available for it, I have to admit it would be nice to have a module also.

Yeah with the adaptor you can plug in wired headphones, but the Kruzer's audio transmitter then becomes useless. What's the use of having a waterproof detector that has a audio transmitter if you have to plug WIRED headphones into an adapter to get them to work. Makro needs to come out with a audio receiver that works with the Makro transmitter. I'd be a happy camper!

Yeah you got it! However I like the design and size of the Garrett Z-Lynk receiving module. It Rocks!

Here is some feedback on the Op’s complaint via another forum.

Lets see, there are the wireless headphones that come with the Multi Kruzer, Then there is an adapter so you can use any wired earbuds or light weight headphones and then there is the Makro wired waterproof headphones. Someone needs to call the waaaambulance.

I don't want wired headphones on a detector that already has a built in audio transmitter. Having a audio receiver that will pair up with the Kruzer's audio transmitter would be nice. Besides most lightweight headphones don't have the great sound quality that the Deus Backphones have.

The battery pack isn't the issue (it's super nice), it's not having a audio receiver that will pair up with the Kruzer's built-in audio transmitter so I can use some good light weight headphones without having cables and wires running everywhere.

You should I think change your thread title to.....

Maybe a recommendation to Makro (Dilek) for Multikruzer line of detectors.

I want what you're smoking! lol I've already stated that I have Garrett Z-Lynks and I've tried the cheaper ones that you linked and returned them. They're junk compared to Z-Lynks.
Thanks anyway for you trying to help. Makro just needs to manufacture a good audio receiver that will pair up with the Kruzer's built in waterproof audio transmitter.

You are welcome.

Try Marlboro they are real good.

Be brave/ambitious. Crack open your Kruzer headphones. Re-house all the electronics guts in a suitable small plastic case, with a 1/4" ( or 3.5mm) stereo socket for the output. Tidy up the headphones, fill in the holes etc, fit a (mono) cable on it with a 1/4"(or 3.5mm) plug on it.
Now you've still got the original 'phones functional, but can use earbuds/backphones/custom single-ear setups etc.
You may even be able to improve things. A larger capacity battery could be fitted for longer run-time.

LOL I thought of that, BUT my electronic skills are so bad that I'd have better luck jumping over the moon than doing that mod. Hopefully Makro will market a audio receiver soon and hopefully they'll model it after the Z-Lynk. I really like my Kruzer a lot.

Major flaw? Sorry have to raise the BS flag to the top on that one

A major flaw would be a bug or something that hampers the detectors ability to perform as expected. An open source (BT) wireless option is not a flaw, it's a design decision. Aside from the Equinox, what other detector supports open standard BT Aptx LL ?

By your logic any detector with a proprietary wireless headphone solution is majorly flawed.... I doubt White's V3i, Garrets ATM w/ Z-Lynk, Dues XP wireless, etc., users would consider the product to have a major flaw because they cannot use some cheap BT headphones from ebay.

Actually by your logic, any detector that doesn't have wireless headphone capability at all should be a major flaw (which I'd be inclined t agree with on principal).

You sure are smart to figuring all that out. My point is that the Makro Multi-Kruzer is a GREAT detector but it does have one flaw that needs to be address. Hopefully the right person is listening.

You do realize you can't have waterproof (under water) wireless , right? As soon as the control unit goes under water the signal stops.

well if that's its major flaw then its a winner for sure -

Yes. When and if I ever do any water detecting I'll most likely buy a set of wired waterproof headphones. Right now I want to be able to detect on dry land with any headphones that I'd like to use without being wired to the detector. I just attached the battery box and relocated the Z-Lynk from the rod to the handle and it makes it easier for me now to change out the search coils. Not having to attach the Z-Lynk would be better though. I'm sure that Makro will come out with a audio receiver that will pair up with the Kruzer's audio transmitter. They make great detectors because they listen to their customers.

I love my MMK also. I think it's only "flaw" is with some of it's users.

Del, you're smarter than the average bear and figured right off what I was up to. Anyone who knows anything about detecting would know how nice it would be to have a audio receiver module for the Kruzer. I sure hope that they model the receiver module after the Garrett Z-Lynk. It's the best I've ever used.

Yep, it's a winner for sure! After a lot of research and listening to other users, I chose the Multi-Kruzer over the Nox. I knew Minelab saying that the Nox would make all other detectors obsolete was a bunch of advertising hype. I feel sorry for those who sold their CTX 3030 and Deus detectors cheap so they could get a Nox.

Hello all.... I have not been posting lately, as so much is going on on this end but I try my best to read posts guys...

Now - wireless module - already got a few emails about this and I can confirm that it is already in the works guys!

Thank you Dilek.----We really appreciate you (Makro/Nokta Co.) listening to our needs/concerns.----It is SO refreshing to have a Company that is willing to do so---and better yet (if possible) a Company that will act (follow through) on legitimate needs/concerns.-----------Del
